child being bullied at school

My 13 yr old son has oral/verbal dyspraxia, he recently had to transfer to new school. New school has a real bully that does not bully my son but does 2 other boys. My son naturally wants to defend the 2 boys being bullied and has asked me what I think he should do? I of course would like to whip the bully myself but that is not how things are done........I could really use some advise on how to advise him of what to do. He has mentioned these boys being bullied many times since starting at this school Jan.3, 2007. Today he blocked the bullies kick to one of the boys. I have a feeling this will most likely only get worse if some sort of intervention is not done, it is bound to escalate to violence in the form of retaliation against the bully by my son in defense of the 2 boys. Please give any suggestions, advise, opinions that any of you may have parent or child. Really need the help.

What is the school's policy in the student handbook say on bulling? There should be a laid out plan on who the first contact should be whether the teacher or the counselor. If not I would contact the guidance counselor for their advice and put a bug in their ear so this child can be watched by the staff.

For the most part support staff are more visible in halls and community places to be aware of these situations.

Good Luck! I hope this helps your son.

Shel If your not kicking hard enough your not making waves!

I agree. Get the attention of the parents and the school administration. Anyway, I am touched by your son's camaraderie.
